Kyoto Convention Bureau has welcomed the news that ROHM Theatre Kyoto (formerly the Kyoto Kaikan Hall) will be reopened in January 2016 as a venue for medium to large sized conference and meeting

 

ROHM Theatre Kyoto includes:
 

·         The Main Hall, accommodating 2001

·         A South Hall that accommodates 715

·         The newly constructed North Hall that accommodates 200

·         Two other small meeting rooms

 

As part of the development work the ROHM Theatre Kyoto has also added an area called the Park Plaza, which will focus on cultural and artistic projects. The Park Plaza will also be usable as a venue for receptions and conventions.

 

James Widgren, international marketing co-ordinator, Kyoto Convention Bureau comments: “As Japan’s leading destination for international meetings and events we welcome the arrival of the redeveloped ROHM Theatre.  It will be a fantastic space for meetings and events, balancing our cultural and artistic creativity with excellence in the field of meetings events and incentives.”

 

Widgren continues: “The area surrounding the ROHM Theatre Kyoto is full of cultural resources such as museums, zoos, temples and shrines, giving delegates the chance to experience the genuine appeal of Kyoto’s culture, art, history and tradition, whilst attending commercial events.”

 

As part of the redevelopment the ROHM Theatre Kyoto will be reborn as a repository of culture, functioning as a theatre for opera, ballet, musicals, and plays as well as traditional Japanese performing arts while simultaneously meeting the needs of the MICE market.
